Juvenile Arthritis Blogs

The terms Juvenile Arthritis (JA), Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA) are not synonymous; their definitions vary slightly. The terminology used depends largely on when the child was diagnosed and what country the child lived in at the time of diagnosis. Even though a disease’s name changes, people tend to stick with the name that was in use when they were originally diagnosed. More about the differences here and here and here.
